I just noticed that I had a bunch of evolutions processes running (pgrep
evolution). After killing all of them and trying to start evolution
again, I get:

$> evolution
adding hook target 'source'
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08176ad0 ***

and nothing else happens. I have to kill the started process manually.

Any idea what could be wrong?
